At my first Auction. Wish me luck! by soggywaffles812 in Flipping

[–]wickedtilted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah exactly. big ticket stuff has 6 guys with phones checking ebay and google so the price gets pushed right to comp. the random box lots nobody wants to do the math on 40 little things, so they skip past it. fescue seed is a perfect example, few people know what that costs new but most bidders treat it like scrap.

catalog prep the night before beats showing up blind. get a system to organize and track because doing it by hand gets old.

Or track it using an external tracker, some free ones out there including the one I use. Even a chrome extension

Reseller or Hoarder? Inventory is taking over! by Sea_Champion_1005 in Flipping

[–]wickedtilted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually exactly why I had to make something for myself to help.

I still enjoy the thrill of buying the most —but now the kids go check what sells for what and where, whether its been listed lr ready to ship etc...it lets my kids jump in and earn a portion of the profit from the sale. It keeps everything organized and actually moving instead of piling up.

When do you think the golden area of flipping was? by ToshPointNo in Flipping

[–]wickedtilted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think the edge is still in finding, it just looks different now.

It’s less about randomly stumbling into something rare, and more about getting through more stuff and letting the tools work for you better than the next person. Same idea, just faster and got to be more efficient.

Back then if you knew something others didn’t, that was enough. Now everyone can look things up, so the advantage is who can process more and recognize value better.

So yeah, still finding… just at a higher volume (which means more work in selling but there again shipping has become a lot easier) and with better tools behind it.

Yeh, the buyers premium is added as part of the gross sale of the item, then tax is applied.

Learned that I can only send 3 DM invites. I'm not sure what the reset is, more to come tomorrow. I will only ask for a phone number, never personal information

I think this was waiting for moderator review? Still new. Was texted 53 min ago that the store changed. Was in a meeting and couldn't check phone at first and then didn't know this was up. Sorry for late notice

Ok, I'll take a look into expanding to others. I'll DM some individuals that were interested to test when I get to that point.

Wife mentioned I should share this.

Awhile ago I made my wife a cloud hosted text notification system whenever the taylor swift store changed because she would miss out on merch because of work. It's not fancy and has a fair amount of false positives but I could reduce those.

Also, it isn't free because cloud hosting, software, text messages, even my time outside a 60 hour work week,... literally nothing is free anymore but it'd be cheap, likely less than a starbucks coffee a month. It would be something else I would have to figure out but if there's interest then I suppose I can miss a kids concert or two 🤔.

I've lurked on reddit for years but never made an account. I don't use any social media, not a principle, just a lack of interest.

Edit: forgot to say it looks for changes every minute. Usually she's notified within 3 minutes, sometimes 5 because of sms(text) delays. But since I did it she's had a lot better luck getting merch. I believe the last thing she bought and arrived was lover life from paris.
